Hi there, my name is Rahul, and I am 18 years old, learning development and designing sometimes. 

Today, I'd like to share some useful JavaScript code snippets I have saved that I think can help make your life as a developer easier.

Let's get started!

  1. Generate a random number between two values: const randomNumber = Math.random() * (max - min) + min
  2. Check if a number is an integer: const isInteger = (num) => num % 1 === 0

  3. Check if a value is null or undefined: const isNil = (value) => value === null || value === undefined

  4. Check if a value is a truthy value: const isTruthy = (value) => !!value

  5. Check if a value is a falsy value: const isFalsy = (value) => !value

  6. Check if a value is a valid credit card number:

JavaScript
 
const isCreditCard = (cc) => {
  const regex = /(?:4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?|[25][1-7][0-9]{14}|6(?:011|5[0-9][0-9])[0-9]{12}|3[47][0-9]{13}|3(?:0[0-5]|[68][0-9])[0-9]{11}|(?:2131|1800|35\d{3})\d{11})/;
  return regex.test(cc);
}


  1. Check if a value is an object: const isObject = (obj) => obj === Object(obj)
  2. Check if a value is a function: const isFunction = (fn) => typeof fn === 'function'
  3. Remove Duplicated from Array const removeDuplicates = (arr) => [...new Set(arr)];
  4. Check if a value is a promise: const isPromise = (promise) => promise instanceof Promise
  5. Check if a value is a valid email address:
JavaScript
 
    const isEmail = (email) => {
  const regex = /(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))/;
  return regex.test(email);
}


  1. Check if a string ends with a given suffix: const endsWith = (str, suffix) => str.endsWith(suffix)
  2. Check if a string starts with a given prefix: const startsWith = (str, prefix) => str.startsWith(prefix)
  3. Check if a value is a valid URL:
JavaScript
 
const isURL = (url) => {
  const regex = /(?:http(s)?:\/\/)?[\w.-]+(?:\.[\w\.-]+)+[\w\-\._~:/?#[\]@!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=.]+/;
  return regex.test(url);
}


  1. Check if a value is a valid hexadecimal color code:
JavaScript
 
const isHexColor = (hex) => {
  const regex = /#?([0-9A-Fa-f]{6}|[0-9A-Fa-f]{3})/;
  return regex.test(hex);
}


  1. Check if a value is a valid postal code:
JavaScript
 
const isPostalCode = (postalCode, countryCode) => {
  if (countryCode === 'US') {
    const regex = /[0-9]{5}(?:-[0-9]{4})?/;
    return regex.test(postalCode);
  } else if (countryCode === 'CA') {
    const regex = /[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY][0-9][ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVWXYZ] [0-9][ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVWXYZ][0-9]/;
    return regex.test(postalCode.toUpperCase());
  } else {
    // Add regex for other country codes as needed
    return false;
  }
}


  1. Check if a value is a DOM element:
JavaScript
 
const isDOMElement = (value) => typeof value === 'object' && value.nodeType === 1 && typeof value.style === 'object' && typeof value.ownerDocument === 'object';


  1. Check if a value is a valid CSS length (e.g. 10px, 1em, 50%):
JavaScript
 
const isCSSLength = (value) => /([-+]?[\d.]+)(%|[a-z]{1,2})/.test(String(value));


  1. Check if a value is a valid date string (e.g. 2022-09-01, September 1, 2022, 9/1/2022):
JavaScript
 
const isDateString = (value) => !isNaN(Date.parse(value));


  1. Check if a value is a number representing a safe integer (those integers that can be accurately represented in JavaScript): const isSafeInteger = (num) => Number.isSafeInteger(num)
  2. Check if a value is a valid Crypto address:
JavaScript
 
//Ethereum
const isEthereumAddress = (address) => {
  const regex = /0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}/;
  return regex.test(address);
}

//bitcoin
const isBitcoinAddress = (address) => {
  const regex = /[13][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z0-9]{25,34}/;
  return regex.test(address);
}

// ripple
const isRippleAddress = (address) => {
  const regex = /r[0-9a-zA-Z]{33}/;
  return regex.test(address);
}


  1. Check if a value is a valid RGB color code:
JavaScript
 
const isRGBColor = (rgb) => {
  const regex = /rgb\(\s*([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\s*,\s*([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\s*,\s*([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\s*\)/;
  return regex.test(rgb);
}


  1. Quickly create an array of characters from a string:
JavaScript
 
const string = "abcdefg";
const array = [...string];


  1. Quickly create an object with all the properties and values of another object but with a different key for each property:
JavaScript
 
const original = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
const mapped = {...original, ...Object.keys(original).reduce((obj, key) => ({...obj, [key.toUpperCase()]: original[key]}), {})};


  1. Quickly create an array of numbers from 1 to 10:
JavaScript
 
const array = [...Array(10).keys()].map(i => i + 1);


  1. Quickly shuffle an array:
JavaScript
 
const shuffle = (array) => array.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);


  1. Convert an array-like object (such as a NodeList) to an array:
JavaScript
 
const toArray = (arrayLike) => Array.prototype.slice.call(arrayLike);


  1. Sort Arrays:
JavaScript
 
//Ascending
const sortAscending = (array) => array.sort((a, b) => a - b);

//Descending
const sortDescending = (array) => array.sort((a, b) => b - a);


  1. Debounce a function:
JavaScript
 
const debounce = (fn, time) => {
  let timeout;
  return function(...args) {
    clearTimeout(timeout);
    timeout = setTimeout(() => fn.apply(this, args), time);
  };
};


  1. Open a new tab with a given URL:
JavaScript
 
const openTab = (url) => {
  window.open(url, "_blank");
};


  1. Get the difference between two dates:
JavaScript
 
const dateDiff = (date1, date2) => Math.abs(new Date(date1) - new Date(date2));


  1. Generate a random string of a given length:
JavaScript
 
const randomString = (length) => {
  let result = "";
  const characters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
  for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * characters.length));
  }
  return result;
};


  1. Get value of cookie:
JavaScript
 
const getCookie = (name) => {
  const value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
  const parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
  if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(";").shift();
};


Thank you for Reading. It is important to note that simply copying and pasting code without understanding how it works can lead to problems down the line. 

It is always a good idea to test the code and ensure that it functions properly in the context of your project.

Also, don't be afraid to customize the code to fit your needs. As a helpful tip, consider saving a collection of useful code snippets for quick reference in the future.

I am also learning if I am going wrong somewhere, let me know.
